Right, this patchset fixes it: "[PATCH 0/8] nohz: Fix nohz kick irq work on tick v3" I was about to make the pull request, the branch is acked by peterz. Would you like to pull it? It's all merge window material. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks.git nohz/fixes-v3 Thanks.
